What would it take....

**Slingshot** · 18th August 2008, 18:20

to get Bucket Racing recognised as an official Olympic sport?

They've already got BMXing & Mountain Biking, Buckets has to be the next logical extension.

We might need to re-name it F4/F5 but how hard could that be. (p/t)

So who's with me, lets petition the Olympic council.

You gotta be kidding

Great thread
Buckets (F4/F5) =

**Slingshot** · 18th August 2008, 19:18

Come on...they've had water motorsports....surely motorbike racing would appeal to the masses.

The olympics measure human power/endurance/etc. Not the speed that a motorcycle goes around a race track.

Thumbs down matie

Actually, this might not be as much of a piss-take thread has I had first planned.

I've just found that Motorcycle Sport is a recognised Olympic sport, it's just not contested at the Olympic games.

So how does Equestrianism fit in?

I would argue that it requires more human power/endurance/etc to race a motorcycle around a track than it would to have a pony prancing around a dressage ring.

Yachting? Windsurfing?

**Skunk** · 18th August 2008, 19:37

Powerboating = human endurance? WTF?

**Trudes** · 18th August 2008, 19:43

Hey the BOB this year was an Olympic effort of endurance, wit and beauty (well, only those of us who finished would know about this

), not a lot to do with speed of machine and an awful lot to do with size of heart and hardness of arse.

**Skunk** · 18th August 2008, 19:49

So that's why I failed. I'm not a hard arse and have a small heart.

**Trudes** · 18th August 2008, 20:04

Yes Skunk, that was all it was, so best you develop a bigger heart and do some squats.

Ahhahahaha it's a piss take of a parody event. I mean next to Trampolining why would FMX be any less Olympic? Bah!

This is a motorcycle forum.
